Why We Love This…
“Lisbon is such a cool city to just get lost in and wander around all the little cobbled streets, whilst trying delicious local food at some of the many restaurants. I love the location of Lisbon, being next to the Tagus River and so close to amazing beaches. Coasteering in Sesimbra is my personal favourite activity here with awesome ziplines, abseils and jumps. Paddleboarding in Cascais is great as well, because it’s such an easy spot to get to grips with the basics.”
